Si qui vero ut non optamus serpentino suggestionis demonice toxico inflati huius tramitis seriem in aliquo temptaverint foedare noverint se cum Anna et Zaphira herebica aeterne anathematis machera perforandos nisi prius digna satisfactione emendare maluerint.

Haec autem sunt nomina illorum qui huic nostre donationi testes et consentientes fuerunt et trophico sancte crucis vexillo roborantes propriis manibus subscripserunt.
